 Nobody has denied anything; they asked for clarification, which you
 have not provided.
 
 Please explain the following:
 
   - why you are filing a NetBSD bug base system report about Berkeley
     DB 4.x, which is not in the NetBSD base system;
 
   - what software written by W. Richard Stevens you are talking about,
     since he did not implement Berkeley DB, either version 4 or any
     other version;
 
   - what problem you are having.
